Over the past two days, Andhra Petrochemicals has seen a cumulative drop of 10.67%, reflecting ongoing challenges in its market position.
The stock's performance metrics indicate it is trading below key moving averages, including the 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day averages, suggesting a sustained period of weakness. Additionally, the stock touched an intraday low of Rs. 52, representing a decrease of 3.93% for the day.
